2000 Subaru DL Legacy review from North America
"Subaru gave me 6 years on a $20,000 car; not a good deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 36,000 miles, this 2001 Legacy started experiencing severe hesitation that occasionally caused the car to stall during acceleration. Subaru's mechanics cannot recreate this problem and their diagnostic tools reveal nothing.
At 74,000 miles, a head gasket blew. The car was taken to the dealership on a flatbed wrecker. I'm awaiting the repair bill.
General comments?
This car is a danger to drive, not only because of the hesitation problem, but because of the extremely poor visibility.
